US Election 2024: The Indian rupee has hit an all-time low of 84.3650 against the US dollar on Thursday, November 7. This was driven by the expectations that Donald Trump’s victory will strengthen the dollar in the coming months, said a Reuters report.

Indian bond markets held steady, with the 10-year benchmark bond trading at 99.9875 rupees and its yield edging lower to 6.7906%, as investors anxiously await the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision. Notably, Donald Trump’s trade policies, in the past, had a strengthening effect on the US dollar. This leads to the fall in the value of Indian rupee. This also means that the capital will flow to the countries with a strong currency. When capital flows to areas with strong currencies, it can spell trouble for countries like India with weaker currencies.
